Sinigang na Pata with Gabi is a version of sinigang na baboy using pork hocks. It is somewhat related to our pork sinigang recipe, except for the extra preparation needed for the pata.
I liked how the dish came out. The pata was very tender and the soup is as sour and delicious as I expected. It was wonderful.
How to Cook Sinigang na Pata with Gabi
Cooking pata or pork hock can be tricky at first. There are preparations needed in order to remove the impurities from hock. In this recipe, I simply boiled the pata for a minimum of 15 minutes and washed it in running water, afterwards.
I suggest using a pressure cooker when cooking sinigang na pata. This makes your task easier and quicker to accomplish. Pour around 6 cups water into a pressure cooker and then add half a teaspoon salt. Put-in the cleaned pata. Please take note that it only needs to be cooked for 12 to 15 minutes. You can go longer if you want to. However, the pork hocks will be very tender to a point where the bones instantly falls-off the meat.
Once the pork hocks are tender, transfer it to a large cooking pot only if your pressure cooker is not large enough to accommodate all the ingredients. I also add around 2 more cups of water. Let it boil completely and add onion and taro. Let this boil in the covered pot for 15 minutes.
Add tomato, Knorr Pork Cube, and Knorr Sinigang sa Sampaloc Recipe Mix. I prefer adding pork cube to provide a solid pork flavor to my sinigang. As for the Sinigang recipe mix, use the 40 gram pack. It should be enough to give you that asim-kilig experience while enjoying the soup later on.
Put all the vegetables in the pot except for the kangkong leaves. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Season with patis and ground black pepper.
I add the kangkong leaves last. Simply add it, cover the pot, and turn the heat off the stove. Let the remaining heat inside the pot cook it for around 1 to 2 minutes.
Enjoy your sinigang with a condiment of fish sauce and crushed spicy chili pepper.
